Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Lead the product requirements required to build and operate a central data catalog as a metadata store.
• Drive Data Governance initiative, working across various organizations and stakeholders.
• Champion customer-facing product development that will reduce time to insights.
• Understand the needs of our end customers in the global communications market and build a platform to help internal teams manage and leverage their data to derive meaningful insights.

Required:

• Someone with 10+ years of product management experience in a fast-paced company. If you have a strong work ethic and know how to knock down barriers to get to your objective this might be the opportunity for you.
• Strong background in Data Governance, having led at least one initiative that included cataloging metadata, data reliability, sensitive data classification and access management.
• Worked on data platforms, customer engagement platforms, or streaming applications. Proficiency in the big data ecosystem e.g. Kafka, Spark, Presto/Athena, or similar technologies.

• You have solved sophisticated problems and have the aptitude to navigate uncharted waters.

 

Desired:

• Collaborative approach and ability to work with distributed, cross-functional teams.
• Great communication skills. You're equally at home on zoom presenting to an audience of developers as you are on a zoom talking to users and then coming up with product requirements. Your best days are the ones where you do both on the same day.
• Bachelor’s degree Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent experience required.
